These seem similar to the Garth helmets stocked by Murrays in the U.S. I'm pretty tempted to just use my ski helmet, which again is very similar and I'm sure would be just as effective.

What's up with all that mast bend on Mischa's boat? Also seen here on a C2: http://www.thebeachcats.com/classifieds/data/1/Steeple2012_2.jpg

I've looked up and seen it a fair amount on the Infusion then had the helm yank the mainsheet back in, of course then the leech ends up a little hooked...but I'd rather keep the mast in the air especially on a double wire reach.

Speaking of double wire reaching, word on the street is the Nacra 17's are double wire downwind all the time. Something we may see on the F18's soon with new sail shapes?
